I live close to microcenter, I am not sure if they even have it in-store (in fact I didn't see it when I went there today) - they might be out of stock, or it might be online order only. But I am just wondering what you guys think.

 

Antec 1200: http://microcenter.com/single_prod [...] id=0288150
cost around $187-$197 (after tax or shipping)

Thermaltake Armor Series VA8003BWS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811133021
cost around $140 (after shipping)

 

which is the better deal? which would you get?

I personally like the Antec 1200 better. A little better airflow. Plus i don't like the flaps on the front of the TT Armor.

The flaps are removable.

At those price points I would go with the TT, however the antec definitely has better airflow.

What does it look like with the flaps removed though?

The door can be removed on the P182, but it looks crappy with it off.

Either case will serve the enthusiast well though.
